Yes, I think we're supposed to perceive this as "re-levelling the playing field". Noumi brought in his boss, so Haru/Taku's boss comes in to take care of the other boss, leaving the original fight as planned.
Having Kuroyukihime not participate is in a way worse because it implies that she really was left "blissfully unaware" of all that was happening. They've hinted a number of times that this wasn't the case, and she really did know (but was waiting to be asked to intervene). Now was the time to intervene because Noumi acting in such a way that undermined the anticipated fight (no surprise of course). Noumi's plan all along was to show that "honour" is foolish, and they're not exactly disproving this... even though justice will still prevail in the end.
